Evangelical Christians Grapple With Racism as Sin

June 8, 2020 by Staff

(NPR) Christians the world over have been united in their revulsion over the killing of George Floyd by a white Minneapolis police officer, and faith leaders from across the theological spectrum have spoken out about the lessons they think Christians should draw from the incident.

Many Protestant and Roman Catholic ministers have emphasized a Christian obligation to love one’s neighbor and to work for justice in the earthly world.
